Nice stay

Very nice location. Kids enjoyed playing in the river. Ample bedding. Well stocked. Clean although could use a good thorough cleaning throughout. Quite dated but having the indestructible oak took some of the stress out of having children there. The rental price also helped overlook the decor and the lack of air conditioning. Fortunately we were there with temps in the 70s.

Quick Get-A-Way

The unit was as described. The kitchen was well stocked and the panoramic views were pretty. The master bed was comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. However, the unit was difficult to find in the dark and is in need of some upgrades. The living room furniture and window treatments are showing some wear. Otherwise it was a nice stay.

August 2024

We stayed in Units 9 and 10 August 11-16, 2024. All in all I would stay again. Minor things are: The sink faucet leaked really bad, but they replaced it in a timely fashion, there are mouse bait stations set around the kitchen, baths, and bedrooms, and we did see mouse droppings on the kitchen counter. My wife wiped the counter down with bleach and we hid our counter top food in our cooler and didn't see any more evidence. The carpet is worn and needs replaced and the deck facing the river is pretty worn, but as I said I would stay here again, due to the option to cook at the unit and the location is terrific. Oh, also, the owner should invest in a smart TV so you could watch movies, etc. That's it!!

Great Little Unit

Loved this little unit! Loved the layout, the function the location and the view. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. Queen bed slept nice. Loved the two full door walls overlooking river and lake. On a different note - The unit does need some TLC to bring it up to par. There was no parking pass left for us in the unit as described. Just know that when you rent from an off site rental company that the onsite rental office/welcome center is not responsible for the rental unit and can not help you with any issues you may have. We would love to rent this unit again but do have some concerns that we will discuss with Vacasa.

Beautiful location but Mice

This property is a functional, simple, two bedroom that is dated and worn. It is located in the Homestead resort and is right on the Crystal River, with Lake Michigan behind it. It is a very short walk to the beach. The location is perfect. However, when I arrived there were many mouse traps set and mouse droppings in the kitchen. The house seemed to have been cleaned, but not well. There were cob webs all over, little things left over under the beds and behind furniture, the shower curtains were moldy and the blinds broken. I communicated with the Vacasa and they apologized about the mice and asked if I wanted the local team to come clean, but I had already done it. I am concerned of how the local team cleaned it in the first place and why they would rent it knowingly with that many mouse traps.

Peaceful waterfront

To be clear, property is in The Homestead, a well known waterfront resort in Glen Arbor Michigan. The Cyystal river lazes in front of your back porch and world class beaches beckon one hundred yards beyond that, across a foot bridge. It is serene and kept quiet, so you can enjoy your time. Unit was more than acceptable with two full bathrooms and multiple doors to keep kids and adults separate at night, if you are so inclined. Unit has everything you might need (although there was no coffee when I checked in). The resort has a small store that sells beer and wine and few essentials but you will need to hit a grocery store for anything beyond snacks Anderson's IGA is five minutes away by car). Pizza and an outdoor restaurant (Whiskers) is available as well. Note that you do NOT get access to the Beach Club, so no pool access and no Beach Club restaurant. You cannot even buy access separately. Truly a wonderful getaway with many things to do. You are five minutes from Glen Arbor downtown, ten minutes from Pyramid Point, and a short drive from Sleeping Bear Dunes. Enjoy your stay!
